Denier Bracteate - Ottokar II small

Ottokar II ruled Moravia before inheriting Bohemia, and his bracteattes from this period reflect the thin-flan, single-die technique that spread through central Europe during the mid-thirteenth century as silver supplies from Jihlava's newly opened mines flooded the regional economy. The Jihlava finds, struck around 1240, transformed Moravian minting capacity almost overnight.

Cach 940 is among the smaller module varieties within Ottokar's Moravian output, distinguished from the larger deniers in the same sequence by flan diameter rather than type.
